Use compatible as filename. Anyway word "master" was dropped.

Use new terminology. Since 2021 there was a change... three years ago.

Do not need '|' unless you need to preserve formatting.

Wrap according to Linux Coding Style (and read coding style to figure
the proper wrapping...).

Everywhere: defaults, constraints.

You described the desired Linux feature or behavior, not the actual
hardware. The bindings are about the latter, so instead you need to
rephrase the property and its description to match actual hardware
capabilities/features/configuration etc.

Why wouldn't you enable it always? Where are dma properties for this?

Nope, it cannot be true. Look how other bindings are doing this. Why
implementing something entirely different?

Order properties as in DTS coding style.

Make your bindings complete - you skipped many properties. Why defining
them if you are not using them and they do not have defaults?
